The Maritime Intercollegiate Athletic Association ice hockey tournament was an annual conference championship held between member teams.
The conference was formed once the maritime schools restarted their ice hockey programs after World War I. For the inaugural season, the league instituted a tournament and held it after every season until 1964, when scheduling conflicts with the University Cup caused its cancellation. The league rebranded as the 'Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association' (AIAA) in 1968.
